Hi Alan, Have we been in contact before? My husbands family appear to come from around Chorley/Leyland and baptised children in Preston. There are verious spellings of the name, my husbands grandparents were HODGKINSON, we are HODKINSON and I have found spellings of HOSKINSON, HODSKINSON, etc. I am going out shortly and am tied up most of the weekend (it is a public holiday this weekend) with visitors, etc, but I will try to get back to you asap. Very best wishes, Pauline in Darwen, Lancs.
